Irrlicht engine: code commenting convention?

Question

I've recently been skimming through Irrlicht's 3D game engine source code, and I really like their commenting styles. For example, they use /param to specify function parameters, and /intro for introduction and so on.

After reading over dozen of files, I was wondering if this is self-created commenting style or some kind of standard coding style that be found in books?

thanks

Answer 1

I think the comments are written in a style that is a syntax for a documentation generator, such as doxygen.
